Quick info
About Taste of Afghanistan
Taste of Afghanistan is an Afghan restaurant at 2 Halls Terrace in Uxbridge, with a menu that covers rice dishes, grilled meats and dumplings. The qabuli pulao comes with raisins and carrots, and the mantoo are Afghan dumplings. Naan is served alongside meals, so bread arrives with the main dishes. Sheeriyakh, an Afghan ice cream, gives the meal a dessert course and is a trademark item on the menu. The restaurant is open Tuesday to Sunday and closed on Mondays.

Customer Review Summary
Reviews split sharply, with the food itself the main point of disagreement. Positive reviewers praise the Afghan cooking and name Sheeriyakh and the trademark ice cream, along with quick table service, lovely staff and "superb flavours." One visitor is still talking about a meal two years later. The negative reviews are more detailed and cover the rice dishes most often. One diner found the qabuli to be mostly white rice with a few raisins and carrots, and the charsi karahi full of bones and shredded meat. Another called the qabuli mahicha pulao smoky and the Afghani kabab burnt and tasteless. A third described the mantoo as rock hard and empty of filling, with hard naan and bland baingan burani. One reviewer says the kitchen had no chapli kabab or lamb kabab and that the order that arrived was boiled rice and chicken wings. They add that no manager called back after five days. One longtime customer says the restaurant is no longer halal. Another found the staff friendly but the taste not close to authentic.

“We ordered qabuli, mixed grill and charsi karahi. We were so disappointed. Charsi karahi was full of shredded meat full of bones and tomatoes pieces. It would put you off by just looking it. Qabuli had a few raisins and carrots after searching for it otherwise I'd think they made a mistake and just put white rice for us. It's a disgrace to afghan food. It's sad because we would order almost everyday because our child is unnwell and we need a decent place to order from. Don't recommend it at all. I'm very disappointed.”
